depends on what a "true" Mac lover is defined as :-). mostly you are right, though. on the other hand: in view of the large installation base; if 5% of mac users really realize, that they actually can run the thing as a full fledged BSD machine (sort of), e.g. in full screen X11 mode parallel to all the shiny aqua stuff, that's still a number "competitive" to linux or FreeBSD installations. actually, with `ion3' there's at least a handful of people using it on Macs ... > > Anyway, I'm still using the 3.1-version > provided by macports, and unfortunately don't > qualify for the maintance of the package at > all!

I believe your problem is that you have to install libixp-0.4.a from the suckless home page first. install it into the lib subtree where your wmii install goes, e.g. /usr/local/lib, if wmii goes into /usr/local/bin or edit the LIBIXP line in `config.mk' of wmii. see also the recent answer to my first mail: config.mk needs some more editing before issuing `make'. regards, joerg
